Two fragmentary reports by sitologoi (granary officials) addressed to an official, probably the strategos, listing man by man the wheat measured into the public granaries in the 3rd year of Elagabalus (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus), under the supervision of Aurelius Andromachos Bassos. They come from the Lower Sebennytic nome in the Delta.
